I had the same problem on 8.1 and 8.2 until I upgraded to gcc-3.3.1-16 on 8.2. I did an upgrade from a fresh install 8.2 to 9.0 on my laptop and carried on running on a 2.4.23-pre8 kernel I built under 8.2. Regards Sid. Donn aka n5xwb Washburn wrote:
Hey Group;
Great news on moving away from 8.2 is the ability to compile a new kernel that runs. I have been building kernels for about 8 years and under 8.2 all failed. However, alsa went just fine. Under 9.0 and SuSE's stock kernel alsa-drivers would not compile at all due to the kernel version and linux/include files. I replaced the SuSE source and kernel with 2.4.22 and now even alsa is compiling. Great news!
GCC 3.# seems to be fixed and now even the kernel and kernel drivers (alsa, nvidia and etc) should work.
